Is there any possible way that i can get a coffin placed in the ocean instead of a funeral home?

Question

In the U.S

Oh thanks. I already found a place,it's beautiful. It is a man-made reef called Atlantis memorial reef. It still isn't completed but i hope to see future progress.

Answer 1

Actually, there are a few funeral homes that will do it but they have to be done under strict regulations.
"In such cases, the funeral home must follow strict federal regulations for modifying the casket to make sure the lid doesn't pop open or the coffin bob around in the water.

The casket must be weighted with 100 pounds of ballast (rocks or sandbags are most commonly used) and 12 6-inch holes must be drilled into the lid and bottom, allowing water to seep in as further counterweight. The casket then must be sealed with five metal shipping bands. "

Answer 2

My Dad was a seamen and always wanted to be buried at see, but US regulations wouldn't allow it. He would have had to be cremated and his ashes could then be sprinkled in the ocean.

Answer 3

Placed in the ocean as in the disposal of a body? This is the illegal disposal of human remains. You may cremate a body and dispose of the ash at sea.

Answer 4

i only know that the hindu(mostly indians)will can burn the body and send the ashes into the sea..let it be free in the never ending waters of the world!

Answer 5
